• Reduce Dairy Consumption- Dairy and dairy products contain lactose which could potentially slow down weight loss. Cutting down on dairy can help you lose weight steadily. Avoiding low-fat milk, cheese, and yogurt can also women suffering from PCOS/PCOD. Try having almond milk, full-fat yogurt, or coconut milk instead.
• Workout Smarter- You may be doing cardio for 45 minutes or running 5k daily and wondering why you can’t lose weight. The trick is to pick smarter, higher intensity workouts that boost your physical health. Yoga, Pilates, HIIT, dance, and strength training are excellent ways to lose weight and get in shape faster. For cardio, stick to 15 minutes of aerobics. You should be working out 3-4 times a week for maximum efficiency.
• Eat Protein for Breakfast– The first thing you eat in a day also matters for your gut and body. Eating protein like eggs for breakfast can help you lose weight and body fat. You feel satiated for longer and are less likely to snack before lunch.
• Have the same food every day- The reason fit people are so fit is because they know exactly what their next meal will be. They stick to the same rotation of foods during a week. This may sound boring but it is the best way to lose weight. Schedule your weekly meals on the weekend and add your favorite foods in moderation. Having the same kind of food daily allows you to keep a count of calories and your macros. Keep a balance of carbs, protein, and fat in all your meals.

• Intermittent Fasting (IF)– The latest buzzword in weight loss is Intermittent Fasting or IF. It means not eating for a specific time period say 16 hours and eating all your meals during the remaining 8-hour window. Beginners can start with 13:11, 14:10, and slowly progress to 16:8. People skip breakfast and divide their meals at lunch and dinner. You can do a 16:8 fast as often as you like but it may not suit everybody. You also have to ensure you are eating all your recommended calories within the 8-hour window.
• Drink Black Coffee- Coffee is loaded with antioxidants and has several health benefits. You have to remember not to add sugar or high-calorie ingredients to your coffee. Taking it black or with cream/almond milk can increase your fat-burning and provide you with energy.
• Avoid Sugar- There is no way to lose weight without cutting sugar out completely. Don’t be fooled by influencers eating cookies. They have those as a treat ONCE in a while. If you are consuming sugar daily, you will find it impossible to lose weight. This means cutting sugar from your coffee/tea, avoiding juices, sodas, and sweeteners too. Replace those with plain or flavored water instead.
• Eat real, fresh food- Packaged or ready to eat food can contain excess carbs, sodium, and sugar. They have minimal to no nutrition and are empty calories. Cook your own meals and pick fresh, real food that makes you feel satiated. Healthy meats, vegetables, nuts, olive oil, legumes, and fish are some excellent foods to consume on a regular basis.
• Get Enough Sleep- Lack of quality sleep causes stress, obesity, and other health issues. Poor sleep can cause you to snack often, eat at irregular times, and consume junk food. The easiest way to ensure a good night’s sleep is avoiding caffeine after 2 pm, no exercise in the evening, and sleeping at the same time every day.
• Drink Water Before Meals- Drinking water before meals can boost your metabolism. It makes you feel full and you are mindful of what you eat. You should also be consuming enough water in the day to help your metabolism and gut.

The above 10 super easy tips and tricks will help you in losing weight. You have to remember that weight loss is not just about the number on the scale. Measure your progress in inches, how fit you feel, the quality of your workouts, your skin and hair, your medical health, and mental health. Weight loss is also a long process so it is important that you be consistent and patient. Consult a doctor before starting a new diet or exercise regime if you have any underlying medical issues. Good luck on your wellness journey!
